Debunking the Myth of Operation Paperclip

 

Analysis by

The "Editorial Board" of The Anti-New York Times selected today's nearly 80-year-old articles to aid in clarifying the gross misunderstanding of the "Operation Paperclip" program which some of our brethren in the Truther community breathlessly claim to have been the foundation for the "Nazi" political infiltration which has now enslaved us. In reality, Paperclip was nothing more than an American program to recruit and pick the brains of about 1,700 of Germany's top scientists and engineers after the war. In a comparable operation, the Soviet Union essentially abducted about 2,000 German specialists, plus their families. These were men with advanced technical knowledge who were used for things like building rockets -- not for "covert" political "infiltration."

It has only been in recent years that this bizarre and contradictory claim of Paperclip being a covert Globalist-enabled "Nazi takeover" of America surfaced and gained viral traction in classic cyber-circle-jerk fashion. This fantastical nonsense appears to have spun off of a 2014 propaganda book by Annie Jacobsen (cough cough) -- although she herself, absurd as she is, did not make such an absurd claim. It's one thing for a blogger -- out of a totally legitimate concern about scaring away delicate normies & newbies -- to strategically shy away from Hitler and World War 2 truth. But to drive this deeply into the slums of Crazy Town is unnecessary, inexcusable and, due to its embarrassingly manifest paradoxical essence, counterproductive to our efforts to win moderately educated people over to our side with hard facts and sound logic. The powerful Fake News and Quackademia have the luxury of being able to get away with spouting this sort of tripe. We do not.

Hateful Yenta Annie Jacobsen got the Paperclip Myth rolling in 2014 with her book about the "secret" (???) Operation Paperclip.

In recent years, breathless bloggers have expanded Operation Paperclip into some sort of "Nazi takeover of America" program --- "muh Prescott Bush, muh IBM."

These 1946 & 47 articles properly describe the "secret" program -- unless, that is, one wants to now believe that the Jewish-as-a-Bar Mitzvah New York Times was also "in on" the plot to "Nazify" the United States. (rolling eyes). In which case, why even report on it, at all?!

Some excerpts:

"More than four score top-ranking German scientists, among them some of the aerodynamicists and physicists who helped design and develop the V-1 and V-2 rockets and the first jet-propelled and rocket-driven fighter planes ever to be in combat, are now working in the giant United States Army Air Forces aeronautical laboratories here under contract to the Government on a project called "Operation Paperclip," it was revealed today. It was disclosed in Washington that about 180 other German scientists were working under contract in the "southwestern United States" presumably at White Sands, N. M. It was indicated that eventually 1,000 of Germany's top-flight scientists might be brought to the United States.

Some of them have been in America about fifteen months, but most of them arrived in small groups after last September. They were all carefully screened in Germany and again after arriving here. Some were former Nazi party men and others were victims of the Nazi party. There have been no clashes between those who went along with the Nazi party and those who suffered at its hands, officials here report, but a cool attitude between the two groups exists. A few have been found undesirable and shipped home. All are in the United States voluntarily, and at least twenty-five have expressed a desire to take out citizenship. The families of some of the scientists are coming over soon."

The lesson here is this: Always check claims --no matter how often repeated or how long accepted -- until you get to the original source. At the end of the inquiry, you'll usually find one of "the "usual suspects" pumping out the usual bullshit to the usual avenues of "education" and communication.

Move along, boys and girls. There is nothing nefarious to see here, and there never was.

1. A group of 104 rocket scientists (aerospace engineers) at Fort Bliss, Texas. Plants and ignoramuses have been spinning this program to fit their nonsensical "Secret-Nazis-Control-The-World" claim. // 2. The brilliant "evil Nazi" Wernher von Braun on God: "Science and religion are not antagonists. On the contrary, they are sisters. While science tries to learn more about the creation, religion tries to better understand the Creator. For me the idea of a creation is inconceivable without God. One cannot be exposed to the law and order of the universe without concluding that there must be a divine intent behind it all."

Boobus Americanus 1: I read in the Anti-New York Times today that Nazi scientists were brought here after World War II.

Boobus Americanus 2: You mean, like Wernher von Braun.

St Sugar: Ssome of them were actually anti-Hitler, Boobuss!

Editor: Those were probably some of the commies we sent back!
